These systems are built on the NetApp industryleading Unified Storage Architecture for ease of management, increased efficiencies, and reduced storage costs. Plus, 1TB of Flash Cache comes standard in FAS6280 and FAS6240 models. Availability for Your Mission- Critical Applications The FAS6200 series is designed for enterprise-class availability to meet your most stringent requirements. High-availability features include Alternate Control Path (ACP), persistent NVRAM write logs, and service processor. Flexibly Expand into the Future with Your Evolving Data Center The FAS6200 series delivers extensive amounts of integrated, high-bandwidth connectivity; multiprotocol support; and a range of capacity and performance that empowers you to deliver optimized storage now and in the future. Challenges Today s data centers have large physical and virtual server deployments that won t tolerate storage performance bottlenecks. They support extensive virtualized environments and enterprise applications with varied workloads. Your enterprise storage systems must meet the rigors of these demanding compute environments, keep pace with data growth and future expansion, while containing capacity and management costs. Solution The NetApp FAS6200 series is an enterprise-class storage system combining powerful scalability, availability, and flexibility. These systems help you confidently meet service levels, drive operational excellence, and respond to future growth. The FAS6200 series includes three performance points to tailor-fit a solution that s right for today and tomorrow: FAS6210, FAS6240, and FAS6280. They are adaptable and ideal for business and technical applications, as well as rapidly changing virtualized environments. These highly resilient systems deliver industry-leading storage efficiency through the NetApp Unified Storage Architecture running Data ONTAP, helping lower your costs. Plus, you can maximize productivity with our integrated suite of manageability software while saving on power, cooling, and floor space with the latest generation of energy efficient disk shelves. Satisfy Your Most Demanding Workloads Enterprise-class storage on a petabyte scale with high performance and availability makes the FAS6200 series capable of satisfying your most demanding business and technical applications as well as consolidated virtualized environments. The FAS6200 series architecture is designed for high performance with 24 cores and 192GB of memory in the FAS6280 system to take full advantage of the 64-bit Data ONTAP 8 operating system. These storage systems support end-to-end high-speed connectivity, including 10GbE and 8Gb FC to hosts and 6Gb SAS on the storage side. In addition, 1TB of Flash Cache comes standard with FAS6280 and FAS6240 configurations to further boost system performance. Flash Cache intelligent caching modules can automatically increase read rates and reduce average latency without adding more high performance disk drives. The combination of intelligent caching with NetApp s storage efficiency features enable the NetApp Virtual Storage Tier (VST),
The FAS6200 series enables you to build a flexible and efficient shared infrastructure today as your foundation for future-ready IT. Figure 1) NetApp FAS6200 controller. which optimizes performance and reduces costs. You can add up to 16TB of Flash Cache to the FAS6200 family. Increase Your Availability The FAS6200 series is designed to meet the most demanding data center HA requirements. Frame-array-class features such as Alternate Control Path (ACP) and persistent NVRAM write logs enhance our already highly available architecture. Add to that a service processor for diagnostics that helps you address impending issues well before affecting availability, and you have an enterprise-class storage infrastructure that you can rely on. Further extend availability by combining the FAS6200 series with our MetroCluster solution. Designed for continuous data availability across distances of up to 100km, it delivers transparent failover with protection from hardware plus power, network, and environmental faults. MetroCluster also reduces planned downtime by enabling you to perform hardware and software maintenance and upgrades nondisruptively so access to data remains available. Expand Your Flexibility Scaling to over 4PB, the FAS6200 series has the flexibility to meet your diverse and evolving storage challenges. What s more, you ll get extensive amounts of integrated, high-bandwidth connectivity for 10GbE, 8Gb FC, and 6Gb SAS. Extending NetApp s Ethernet leadership, the FAS6200 series supports the unified target adapter with NetApp Unified Connect. This enables flexible, efficient storage infrastructure through multiprotocol data access over a shared network port. Plus, FAS6200 systems support Data ONTAP in both standard and cluster modes, enabling you to expand up to 24 nodes. Our robust systems are cluster-ready with integrated 10GbE connectivity paving the way for I/O consolidation. Moreover, the NetApp Unified Storage Architecture can handle your diverse workloads and growing virtualized environments. We provide you with multiprotocol storage networking, which increases flexibility and reduces business risk. With support for highcapacity disk shelves with SATA drives, high-density disk shelves with small-form factor SAS drives, high performance disk shelves with 3.5 SAS drives, and lightning fast SSDs and Flash Cache, the FAS6200 family is ready to be tailored to your data requirements and budget. Industry-Leading Storage Efficiency The FAS6200 series provides advanced storage efficiency, data protection, and data management features across the NetApp Unified Storage Architecture. Thin provisioning helps keep costs in check by largely eliminating the need to preallocate storage based on forecasted demand and improving the utilization of your existing storage. NetApp deduplication is the industry s best answer to ever-increasing storage capacity demands, while data compression adds another efficiency dimension, helping to further reduce data and network bandwidth usage. Our low-overhead double-parity RAID-DP offers better data protection and capacity utilization than traditional RAID implementations. High-efficiency NetApp Integrated Data Protection includes Snapshot technology, which enables you to create point-in-time copies of file systems using very little space. Additionally, thin replication enables backup and recovery, disaster recovery, and archival using minimal storage capacity and network resources. FlexClone technology instantly creates virtual copies, enabling development and test for your most demanding enterprise applications and databases at a lower cost.
